I didn’t just fall into travel, I built a career around helping people create unforgettable memories. After years in the industry, I know how overwhelming planning a vacation can feel: too many options, confusing details, and the fear of missing out on something special. That’s exactly why I became a travel advisor – to take that stress off your shoulders and turn your dream trip into a smooth, joyful reality.
When you book with me, you’re not just getting a booking agent. You’re getting a dedicated planner who treats your vacation like it’s my own. I listen closely to what matters to your family or group, then use my expertise to match you with the right destination, resort, cruise line, or itinerary – whether it’s your first Disney trip, a milestone cruise, a multi‑generational getaway, or a bucket‑list European adventure.
We Start With a Conversation
I’ll ask about your travel style, budget, must‑haves, and any special needs (like accessibility, dietary concerns, or celebrations). No pressure, just a relaxed chat to understand what “perfect” looks like for you.
I Do the Research & Planning
I compare resorts, cruise itineraries, and/or add-ons (like dining plans, excursions, or VIP experiences) so you don’t have to. I’ll send you a clear, easy‑to‑read proposal with options, pricing, and my honest recommendations.
Booking & Ongoing Support
Once you decide, I handle all the details: reservations, documentation, payments, and any special requests. I stay in touch leading up to your trip and am available to answer questions or help with changes.
During & After Your Trip
I provide a detailed itinerary and travel tips, and I’m reachable while you’re on vacation if anything comes up. After you return, I love hearing your stories and photos — and I use that feedback to make your next trip even better.
Expertise You Can Trust
I hold the Certified Travel Associate (CTA) designation from The Travel Institute and the Verified Travel Advisor (VTA) certification through the American Society of Travel Advisors. I also stay current with training and travel to all destinations I sell.
Personalized Service, Not Cookie‑Cutter Itineraries
Whether it’s a family of four at Walt Disney World, a couple’s romantic all-inclusive getaway, or a 25‑person group cruise or resort vacation, I tailor every detail to your group’s needs and budget.
I’ve Been There (and Booked It!)
I’ve planned countless theme park vacations, ocean cruises, all‑inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean, and European trips (including river cruises and land tours). I know the ins and outs of these experiences and can help you avoid common pitfalls.
Peace of Mind
I’m your advocate before, during, and after your trip. If something changes or an issue comes up, I work directly with the supplier to help resolve it quickly.
If you’re ready to plan a vacation that’s stress‑free, personalized, and truly unforgettable, I’d love to help. Reach out to schedule a no‑obligation consultation, and let’s start turning your travel dreams into reality.
Working with Bridget was exceptional. She was attentive to detail, responsive, and had extensive knowledge about our destination. Not to mention, she is kind, funny and easy to work with. We traveled with a large group with vastly different needs (from handicapped grandparents to infants, and everything in between) and Bridget was able to navigate for us and make the trip run seamlessly. Do not hesitate to hire Bridget- it will be the best decision you can make!
We cannot thank Bridget enough for helping us plan the best trip ever! She has great insight to the parks, rides and restaurants. My daughter loved reading through the “secret tips” of the park. We truly had the most magical trip!!
Bridget has helped us plan more than a dozen trips and she never lets us down! We have been on expedition cruises, river cruises, ocean cruises and even Disney World. She made all the preparation for our travel needs easy and we felt reassured that all was taken care of. We always know that we are in for a wonderful adventure when she plans a trip for us! Bridget is the best! Best service, best deals, and very knowledgeable.
We had Bridget plan a family Disney trip for 29 people and it was amazing. Everyone had a magical vacation. Bridget was an invaluable resource of information and the trip went off seamlessly. The rooms, reservations and transportation that Bridget planned for us were great and there were no surprises. I would HIGHLY recommend using Bridget to plan your next trip. I cannot say enough about how wonderful Bridget is to work with.
We absolutely LOVED St Vincent. It was the perfect location for us. The resort was gorgeous, brand new, and modern. We absolutely loved our accommodations – the swim up room was perfect. The whole resort was breathtaking – it wasn’t crowded (which we loved) so we were able to sleep in, go to the breakfast buffet and then head to the pool for the morning. The food and dining choices were all great! The people that work at the resort are WONDERFUL. They bent over backwards to accommodate anything we needed/asked for. We enjoyed getting to know some of the servers at the restaurants! Our excursions were wonderful as well! We loved the catamaran tour – that was probably our favorite. We absolutely loved this honeymoon and wish we were still there!!! Best resort I’ve ever stayed at.
Bridget made everything so easy when it came to booking our first Disney Cruise. She was knowledgeable and answered the questions that I had. She was able to help with booking rooms before and after the cruise and helped with booking dining. She made the experience so easy that all we had to worry about was having fun, which we did!
Walt Disney World holds a very special place in my heart – it’s where my family’s most cherished memories have been made since my boys were born. From their first steps on Main Street to meeting Mickey as wide‑eyed toddlers, to watching them grow up on the rides, in the parks, and around the resorts, every visit feels like coming home. I’ve experienced the magic through the eyes of a mom and a planner, and that deep personal connection is why I love helping other families create their own Disney moments. There’s nothing quite like seeing that wonder and joy on a child’s face and I love helping families make magical memories that last a lifetime. Whether at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, aboard a Disney Cruise Line ship, or on an Adventures by Disney trip, Disney magic is truly special!
To me, river cruising is one of the best ways to travel – gliding through scenic waterways and waking up right in the heart of charming towns and historic cities. I love how river cruises let you dive deep into local cultures, from quaint villages to grand capitals, with fascinating onboard lectures, local cuisine, and easy access to incredible sights. Whether it’s the Danube, Rhine, Seine, or another beautiful river, I love helping clients experience the relaxed pace, rich history, and unique perspective that only a river cruise can offer.
The Caribbean is one of my absolute favorite destinations because it offers the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. I love ocean cruising here – waking up to a new island each day, exploring beautiful beaches, vibrant cultures, and delicious local flavors, all from the comfort of a floating resort. I also adore Caribbean all‑inclusive resorts, where everything from meals and drinks to activities and kids’ clubs is taken care of, so families, couples, and friends can truly relax, soak up the sun, and make joyful memories without the stress. Whether it’s a cruise hopping between islands or a laid‑back beachfront resort, I love helping clients choose the perfect Caribbean getaway that fits their style and creates memories that last long after the tan fades.
Universal Orlando is one of my favorite destinations for families and fans who love immersive storytelling, thrilling rides, and unforgettable moments. From the moment you step into The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, to experiencing epic adventures with superheroes, dinosaurs, and beloved characters, there’s non‑stop excitement around every corner. I love how Universal blends cutting‑edge attractions with incredible theming, dining, and entertainment – making it a perfect destination for kids, teens, and the young at heart. Whether it’s a family vacation, a group trip, or a special celebration, I love helping clients plan Universal Orlando getaways that are packed with magic, thrills, and memories they’ll talk about for years.
Bridget was so easy to work with. She made sure we had all the details covered for our large family vacation to Disney. She was also quick to get ahold of when something popped up on our trip that we needed help with. We will deffitinly use her again!
Bridget was amazing to work with. We had a general idea of what we wanted to see in NYC. Bridget was able to find tours that covered this. She was able to narrow the plethora of opportunities and find ones that matched our family. She booked us a beautiful hotel that was just the right amount of space in a prime location to all our activities. She was in constant communication if there were any changes to our plans. She made the trip easy for us to enjoy and extremely less stressful! I highly recommend Bridget for all you planning needs!
